Lightroom Mastery Training Launch

"I have a style in mind for my photos, but whenever I start editing in Lightroom, it's a complete mess."

Every day, I get emails from photographers who are frustrated with Lightroom. They've tried everything they know, but they've hit a plateau. No matter how much time they spend fiddling with different settings, they rarely get their photos exactly like they want.

The problem is that you understand the features of Lightroom without understanding how they all fit together. You're missing the roadmap for getting better results.

And unfortunately, most courses fail to address this fundamental problem. They focus on what the settings do without ever teaching how to use them to get what you envision.

I have a confession. When I first started using Lightroom, I had the same struggles and frustrations as the photographers who now email me looking for help.

It took me 5+ years of hard, unconventional work to master this craft...

And in the process, I discovered the undocumented tricks and secrets I use today to build my NATE Cam presets and help photographers around the world.

IMAGINE:

Being 100% satisfied with your photo edits in Lightroom

Knowing EXACTLY how to use Lightroom's tools to get any style you want

Saving time because you know exactly what "tweaks" you need to make (instead of "fiddling around" with settings)

Being able to build your own, recognizable styles that fans & clients love

Charging clients more for your services (or even selling your own presets)

What would this mean for you and your photography?

For the first time ever, you have the chance to learn my secrets for mastering Lightroom.

Everything I'm about to show you in these masterclasses has been a closely guarded secret up to now. These are the same tools, techniques and processes I use to earn a living developing presets and providing style consulting.

You truly won't find this training anywhere else.

What took me 5+ years to master, you can now learn directly from me in the next few weeks, in 4 brand new masterclasses:

What Photographers are Saying

"3 Days with this course taught me more than YEARS of YouTube videos and blog posts..."

"Nate - I cannot begin to express how thankful I am I enrolled in your course. I legitimately want to cry because I wish I had known this before I spent 6 months developing ONE preset of my own. I’ve been using Lightroom for years, have watched every youtube video and read every blog post I could find about developing presets and up until now it’s been an aimless guessing game of trial and error. I just finished your LR Mastery course and I’m FLOORED by the amount of information you generously provided. Literally, exactly what I’ve been searching for. It’s been three days since I began your course and I’ve already begun to complete my full preset pack. Funny what’s possible when you actually understand what you’re doing. Many thanks and cheers! 🤘🍻"

- Devin Jenkins

"All I can say is WOW!!!"

"Nate - All I can say is WOW!!! What you've taught in these masterclasses is exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for. In particular, the tone curve panel has always mystified me, and now I can use it to do some really cool things! It's making a HUGE difference... I'm more satisfied with these results than anything I've done in the recent past 😃"

- Jeffrey Erikson

"Exactly what my photography had been missing..."

“Hi Nate! Just wanted to let you know that I LOVE this course so much... it's exactly what my photography had been missing. I've taken courses before on CreativeLive and Lynda.com, but neither had the real-world application your training provides. Other courses focus on the features in Lightroom, but they never explain how to achieve specific styles from scratch. If photo editing is like cooking, your class is like learning from Gordon Ramsay (only nicer!), while the other classes are busy teaching you how to use the oven."

- Kelly Barr

"After this course, I know EXACTLY how to get the look I'm envisioning"

"Hi Nate!! I just finished Lightroom Mastery and let me say it's just AMAZING!! Even though I had been using Lightroom for years, I never really understood how to properly use some of the tools. But after this course I know EXACTLY how to use each tool to get the look I'm envisioning! The explanations you give are so simple and clear that it's impossible not to understand! Also the cheat sheets are really great and helpful! Thanks loads for an awesome course!"

- Gohar Telumyan

"This course went WAY beyond my expectations"

""NATE! This course went WAY beyond my expectations! Love how you break down complex subjects in a way that just makes sense! The way you merge theory and practice in Lightroom is perfect!""

- Arne Hauck

Common Questions

Do I need to be a professional photographer to take this course?

Absolutely not. Whether photography is your full-time profession or your part-time obsession, this course will show you how to take your post-processing skills to the next level.

When does class begin?

As soon as you enroll, you get immediate access to all video lectures and course materials. You'll get an email with access instructions as soon as payment goes through!

How long do I have to watch the videos?

How does forever sound? Once enrolled, you will have lifetime access to watch (and re-watch) all the video lessons at your own pace.

Can I download the video files or do I need an internet connection to watch?

The course is setup to be accessed online from any device - but if you need the files available offline, let me know and I will send you a download link. There are a number of advantages to the online environment – you can track your progress, ask me questions on any particular lesson, etc – but I also understand that you may be planning to watch it in areas you don't have internet access, so I'm happy to accommodate 🙂

How long does this take to complete?

Short answer: it depends. But this is not just a quick video or two. This is a robust, in-depth course. I want to make 100% sure that you fully grasp each concept and are ready to get awesome results.

The complete Mastery bundle has over 34 videos screencasts. If you played each video back to back, theoretically you could finish in just over 5 hours. But more likely, you will want to pause and follow-along, and spend some time practicing and digesting the material with your own work.

Which Masterclass should I take first?

Ideally, you would take these in order. They're meant to be sequential, and work together. So...

Style Masterclass

Tone Masterclass

Color Cast Masterclass

Color Palette Masterclass

Each Masterclass builds on the next. So, for instance, it's important to start with a broad understanding of processing styles (and emulation) before you can truly master tones.

Do I need a certain version of Lightroom?

You should be fine with any version of Lightroom. I recommend Lightroom CC (just because it is the latest), but if you have an earlier version of Lightroom, you should be totally fine. (If you find that it isn't, just drop me a line and I'll help you out!)

Do I need PC or Mac?

Either is perfect. I'm personally using a Mac during the screencasts, but I try to give instructions for PC whenever I know something will be different.

You mention a couple of "bonuses" with the bundle. How do I get those?

After the launch, I'm going to send out an email so everyone has time to ask their questions. I'll have a live session, which you can participate in, or watch afterwards whenever you want!
